Ultraforce (Asst. 75596) action figures and accessories were produced by Galoob in 1995 and early 1996. The Ultraforce action figure line is part of a very successful television and comic book empire; however this line was not as well received as anticipated. Perhaps, it was the introduction of what was thought to be a "chase" figure in each case. This figure rarely made it past the receiving area of any retail establishment. Quickly, those collecting the series realized that they may never finish completing a set, so why bother collecting them at all. It wasn't long after this short lived experiment ended up on the shelves of the major discount chains at a fraction of the original cost. This "chase" figure, however, may be the Ultraforce action figure lines only remaining, redeeming quality. The black carded subset which were issued one per case and originally intended for production of 5000 figures. The final run of the black carded subset only consists of 504 of each to fulfill contract requirements. These 504's (as these are commonly called) are extremely difficult to obtain. As for Prime #0 (if memory serves), this was not issued in the case assortment; however, sold through magazine and comic book stores (or at least originally). This image is of three of the five Queen Topaz carded examples I have in my collection.
